Everyone has obviously gotten over Xu He's early submission of papers.
"Mr. Pavilion, your Majesty's policy question today is based on the sentence above [Whether the assistant prime minister is a virtuous person or not, it is not easy to know how a gentleman is and a villain]..."
Xie Daozhi stopped talking halfway through his words.
But obviously, everyone here already knows what he wants to ask.
Xie Kun frowned and said: "The assistant minister must be talking about Qin Yan! Wu Xingbang has just become the chief executive recently. Although it is his turn, if His Majesty is not willing, Qin Yan can still be allowed to serve as an examiner. Chief Examiner, so Wu Xingbang’s holy family is still there.”
"Not to mention Mr. Xu Ge, the war in the south has not ended, the Japanese rebellion on the southeast coast has not stopped, and the opening of the sea has just begun. Your Majesty cannot let Mr. Xu Ge leave at this time."
"But I haven't heard anything happened recently from Mr. Shouxiang's side?"
"Otherwise!" Xu Song suddenly said at this time, "I heard that the Shandong Road Supervisory Censor recently reported that the Liaodong Dusi recently intercepted a batch of iron ingots!"
Xie Daozhi frowned and said, "I've heard about this too, but what does it have to do with the chief minister?"
Xu Song said in a deep voice: "You don't know the details. This batch of iron ingots was personally escorted by a Qianhu from Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. Now that Qianhu has been captured."
"Lu Yunshen!" Xie Daozhi and Xie Kun were immediately shocked.
Xie Daozhi stared at Xu Song and said, "What Mr. Ge means is that Lu Yunshen is Qin Yan's man?"
Xu Song nodded: "I heard from Ziyu the day before yesterday that a eunuch named He Xian, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals and eunuch Bingbi, died in the palace last year."
Xie Kun nodded: "I heard this from the Queen."
"A few days ago, a eunuch named Chen Hong asked someone to bring me a letter, saying that He Xian was the person who assisted Xia Yangqiu last time. His death was caused by Lu Yunshen and he saw it with his own eyes!"
Xu He frowned and said: "Chen Hong? Is he the eunuch who came to the house the day before yesterday to ask for "Journey to the West"? Why did he write to the uncle? Did the uncle know him before?"
"do not know!"
This is interesting.
A palace eunuch who didn't know Xu Song wrote a letter intending to make friends with the ministers. Either he was appointed by the emperor and deliberately got close to the ministers, or he was a very ambitious person...
However, no matter which way it is, it is a serious crime to make friends with internal ministers.
Of course Xu Song couldn't be that stupid: "I'm not interested in this Chen Hong, but his letter revealed a piece of information."
"He Xian belongs to Xia Yangqiu. Lu Yunshen and Xia Yangqiu have no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently. Why would he kill the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony? You must know that the risk is very high."
"Unless!" Xie Kun said, "He is in the same nest as Qin Yan. He Xian must have said something bad about Qin Yan for Xia Yangqiu in the palace, so Qin Yan wants Lu Yunshen to kill him!"
Xie Daozhi said thoughtfully: "Mr. Ge, I have something to say that I don't know whether to say or not."
Xu Song stretched out his hand to signal him to speak directly.
Xie Daozhi glanced at Xu He and said: "Liang Sheng's mother is from the same clan as mine, and Liang Sheng is my junior. In this way, our two families can be considered relatives."
When Xu Song heard this, he said seriously: "If you have something to say, please tell me directly. Even if we are not relatives, we are still fellow countrymen and friends who serve as ministers in the same palace. If you have any advice for me, please feel free to tell me. I will accept it!"
Xie Daozhi nodded: "Chen Hong must not have any contact with him. At some point, he will even forward his letter to Mr. Ge to Wang Ji or...the emperor!"
Hearing this, Xu Song touched his beard and began to think deeply.
After a moment, he stood up and bowed: "Fortunately, my dear brother reminded me!"
The other two people present here, Xie Kun and Xu He, are not fools, and they felt it made sense when they heard this.
First of all, how did the emperor know in whose hands He Xian died?
Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is no ordinary person.
He has come into contact with many people and has many enemies.
Who knows who did it?
The news from the emperor, haha, maybe it was also sent by Chen Hong.
A piece of news can be sold well on both sides. He is quite a psychic person.
After everyone digested the matter, Xu Song said: "I just said that Lu Yunshen is probably related to Qin Yan. So, based on my guess, the emperor should have found something about this matter. For example, who is trafficking in iron ingots?" The mastermind behind the scenes!”
…
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap sounded, and the left side of Qin Que's face suddenly swelled.
Li Xiyan quickly grabbed Qin Yan and said, "Mr. Ge, calm down, calm down!"
Qin Yan glared at his son and cursed: "This little beast, ask this little beast, what good things did he do?"
Qin Que covered his face, eyes widened, and stared at his father: "How do I know what's going on? I just came back from outside, and you always slap me!"
Qin Yan's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he was obviously very angry and said: "Shandong Road Supervisory Censor originally impeached Lu Yunshen, saying that he secretly sold iron ingots to Liaodong. Is this a partnership between you and Lu Yunshen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiyan's eyes widened and she looked at Qin Que in disbelief.
Iron ingots were something that the imperial court strictly controlled for export.
In severe cases, even iron pots cannot be sold outside the grassland or outside the mouth.
The Qin family often does business with the Jurchens in Liaodong, and he knows this.
But he didn't expect that in the past, he only sold some items such as porcelain and silk cloth. After finding out, with the energy of the Qin family, this was nothing.
But you have already made so much money, and you still lack some money from selling iron ingots?
This Mr. Xiao Ge dares to make any money.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan's questioning reached his son. Qin Que did not panic at all, but said plausibly: "Father, what's wrong with the iron ingots? Are they from Shanxi selling less?"
"Many savages from Jianzhou came to our door, saying that even their cooking pots were almost broken. They were willing to buy iron ingots at ten times the price..."
"Idiot, are they taking the iron ingots to make pots? Idiot!"
Qin Que said impatiently: "Dad, what do you care about him shooting? What about shooting swords or arrows? Their few people were drowned by our defenders before they even reached Shanhaiguan!"
When Qin Yan heard this, he almost fell down: "Come here, come here, lock this little beast up, lock him up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Que was "escaped" out by the servants.
Li Xiyan helped Qin Yan sit down and frowned: "Mr. Pavilion, it is a taboo for the emperor to make friends with the royal guards!"
Qin Yan said solemnly: "Those who are looking for us should impeach me first!"
"This..." Li Xiyan was confused when he heard what he said. After a moment, he said in surprise: "It's a good move to retreat in order to advance. Let's impeach ourselves, but talk about something unimportant. Let the emperor calm down first, and then Xu will try his best to follow. Lu Yunshen denies the relationship."
"If Wu Xingbang finds out about this, he will definitely find a way to squeeze you out of the cabinet."
Qin Yan nodded and said: "When the results of the palace examination come out, even if that boy Xu He is in the top three, we will come to propose marriage! If the matter between Yun'er and that boy is settled, Wu Xingbang will definitely be in trouble, and there will be secret secrets between him and Xu Song. Disgusting!"
